How they read
In their own wordsTack Room Door is Farrow & Ball No. G6, a colour from the brand's Archive collection. Farrow & Ball describes it as "a weathered mid-brown, evoking years of exposure to the elements," giving "the impression of deep brown woodwork weathered to a more relaxed hue." The brand names Joa's White as its complementary white.
Townsend Harbor Brown is a near-black with a secret: a warm red undertone that reveals itself as burgundy the moment any light touches it. With an LRV of just 7.13 it absorbs almost everything, which is exactly why it makes such a rich, enveloping backdrop for moody rooms, cabinetry and front doors.
